16 .4 Magnetie Phase Transitions<br />

Phase transitions can occur between different magnetic phases as a fonction of various<br />

thermodynamic parameters, such as magnetic field, temperature or pressure . Here we will<br />

restrict ourselves to the most simple case of a transition from a low temperature ferromagnetic<br />

(FM) or antiferromagnetic (AF) phase to a high temperature paramagnetic (PM) phase . First,<br />

we will discuss this phenomenon qualitatively, then introduce the quantitative description and<br />

fmally show just one example of a neutron diffraction study .<br />

The magnetic long range order discussed in section 16 .2 can only be stable, as long as the<br />

thermal energy kBT is small enough compared to the exchange interactions giving rise to<br />

magnetic order . At sufficiently high temperatures, entropy wins and the magnetic moments<br />
